People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 1138 Dominate the sea power?

A gust of cold wind blew, and Li Ji opened his eyes and saw that it was already evening.

Frozen in place, Li Ji looked to see where Li Zheng was still under the tree.

Patting his face, Li Ji mentioned it and then looked around to see Li Zheng tidying up the stables, and then he let out a sigh of relief.

Li Zheng said: "The general is awake?"

Li Ji stood up and felt the numbness of his legs, which is easy to do while sitting and sleeping.

After standing up completely, Li Ji said, "Is there any water to drink?"

Li Zheng pointed to the teapot on the table, "It's cool and white."

Li Ji picked up the cold water and poured it into his mouth. After drinking the water in the kettle, he let out a sigh of relief, "The old man fell asleep."

Li Zheng nodded and said: "The general's snoring is like thunder, I admire it."

Li Ji smiled disdainfully, "How can a man sleep without snoring?"

After tidying up the stables, Li Zheng said, "What is the general looking for?"

Li Ji patted his forehead and said, "What is this old man looking for you for?"

Before Li Ji remembered it, Li Zheng said: "The letter from the Wa Kingdom should be delivered soon. I don't know how the general arranged the business route?"

Li Ji said: "It can be arranged in less than half a month. Don't worry, it's still the old rules. Everything is arranged by the old man and His Majesty's cronies." When it comes to business matters, Li Ji suddenly remembered, "Yes. Yes, today the old man saw His Royal Highness King Jin holding a small boat."

Li Zheng said, "Really?"

Li Ji said again: "I heard that the ship was designed by you?"

Li Zheng said: "For many years, I picked up a book, and that book has ships designed in this way."

Hearing Li Zheng's explanation, Li Ji didn't believe it in his heart, but he also couldn't understand that some things were clearly done by Li Zheng, and he also said that others gave him, just like the previous method of brewing spirits.

Li Ji frowned and said, "I just can't figure out why you picked up so many good things in this world."

Li Zheng quickly waved his hand and said, "Where is it, the general has won the prize."

Li Ji snorted coldly, "Do you think this old man is praising you?"

Waving the fan in his hand, Li Zheng wasn't doing anything.

Li Ji said: "As for the ship, are you going to make it yourself? You need a lot of sea ships to go to Wa Kingdom?"

Li Zheng nodded and said: "From technology to project approval, building a shipbuilding workshop, and researching waterways is indeed a troublesome task and a large investment."

Li Ji looked at Li Zheng, "Even if it costs a lot of money, you, Li Zheng, can afford it."

Li Zheng shook his head and said: "The general is joking, I now have Jingyangfang City to manage, and a paper workshop, not to mention the two major projects of road construction and tree planting, which cost a lot of money, but construction A shipbuilding workshop, I can barely squeeze out some money, I can only say that it is barely enough."

Li Ji said again: "Right now, building a shipbuilding workshop is very expensive, but as long as the boat is built, it will be a huge profit. In the future, someone who wants to go to sea will need your boat."

Putting down the fan in his hand, Li Zheng drank his tea calmly.

Li Ji said again: "You, Your Majesty, and that guy Cheng Yaojin all have business cooperation, but it's a pity that my family is poor."

Li Zheng said: "Don't be modest, General, you are a Duke of the state and a dignitary of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Ji patted the table and said, "Okay! The old man made it clear that the old man in the shipbuilding workshop also needs to invest money."

Li Zheng slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

Li Ji said, "What? You don't want to?"

Li Zheng said: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that this business can't be done by me and the general?"

Li Ji looked at Li Zheng, "Then what should we do?"

Li Zheng said in a low voice: "Does the general know? Why should I distribute my Jingyang workshop to the queen, General Cheng, and your Majesty's members."

Li Ji asked doubtfully, "Why?"

It seems that Li Ji has no experience in business. Li Zheng said to him: "It is easy for a family to be targeted by others, and it will also be bullied by colleagues, but it is another matter if there are other people in this workshop." , Just like the liquor workshop, now there are members of His Majesty, General Cheng Yaojin, and mine, the three families have a backer and a reputation together, and it is safer."

Li Ji gasped, "Use business people to form cliques, so no one will dare to touch you."

Li Zheng went on to say: "The general only knows one thing and doesn't know the other thing. Your Majesty must be involved in this shipbuilding business, otherwise you and I won't be able to do it for long, and it is more likely to lead to death."

Li Ji thought about it and said: You mean that if you and I monopolize the shipbuilding business, it would be...

Li Zheng picked up his fan and said, "That's monopolizing the sea power."

Li Ji couldn't help but took two steps back, "This... is really..."

Li Zheng stood up and said: "Okay, I can provide the technology. The general and your majesty will discuss how to build this shipbuilding workshop. The technology is all here. Your majesty and the general only need to contribute manpower and financial resources."

While talking, Li Zheng walked further and further away.

Li Ji was still standing there, monopolizing the sea power?

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Li Ji was a little scared now, how terrible his previous thoughts were.

When Li Zheng returned home, Li Zhi sat at the door.

Seeing that Li Zheng was back, Li Zhi said: "According to the teacher's request, I deliberately waited for General Li Ji to do the experiment when he was by the river, and the general also saw it." Li Zheng patted Li Zhi on the shoulder and said: "You did very well."

Li Zhi said again: "Did the general look for you?"

Li Zheng still nodded.

Li Zhi said again: "You know the general will be tempted by this deal, unless General Li Ji can't see the huge benefits in it."

Li Zheng said: "It seems that His Royal Highness King Jin is not too stupid."

Li Zhi: "..."

After a while of silence, Li Zhi followed Li Zheng's footsteps, "Then you plan to drag General Li Ji into the water?"

Li Zheng said: "I will not only drag General Li Ji into the water, but I will also drag your father into the water."

Li Zhi said in surprise: "My father?"

Li Zheng said: "Otherwise? Do you think building a ship is an easy task? First of all, if you own a ship, you have mastered the sea power. If you master the sea power, you control the sea. I dare not do this business without the royal guard." , Besides, building a shipyard requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Although I have money, I don’t want to spend it like this. Not only does the investment in the early stage be too large, but I also need to lead the East China Sea in Jingyang? This is obviously unrealistic.”

Li Zhi said: "So the teacher would rather give up this opportunity to others than dare to do it by himself. The investment is high and the risk is high. Whether it can be paid back is still a matter of opinion. The teacher's method is the safest."

Seeing Li Zhi's expression, Li Zheng felt that Ruzi could be taught and nodded pertinently.

The ancients were not stupid at all, but their cognition was a little behind.
